Pick the power tier first, then the colour temperature
Four tiers, one PCB and one 24 V architecture — the tier sets light output per metre, the colour temperature set is what makes a run feel warm, neutral or crisp.

How to read the numbers: flux and power are quoted per metre. One 10 m reel therefore delivers 3,400–13,500 lm in total, and draws 34 W to 105 W at 24 V DC. System efficacy across the four tiers works out at roughly 118–129 lm/W.
03
System efficacy across the range
Where the higher tiers pay off: the same 10 m reel length carries more light for proportionally less power.
Calculated from the rated wattage and luminous flux per metre in the LS155 G5 order table. Values rounded to the nearest whole lm/W.
04
Full spectrum where it is visible
Ra is not an abstract index. It is the difference between a display looking grey and looking like the product a customer expects to receive.
- Ra ≥ 90 and SDCM ≤ 5 — reds hold their depth, skin tones stay natural, and adjacent reels do not drift apart in colour.
- 120 LEDs per metre — a denser pitch shortens the mixing distance, so a shallow cove or a low-profile profile can still show an unbroken line instead of individual points.
- Consistent colour across the range — one SDCM window across 2700K to 6500K means a project can mix tiers and colour temperatures without a visible seam.
- Where it matters most — retail shelving, hospitality counters, open kitchens, galleries and residential joinery where the lit object is the reason for the light.

22/145 copper: why the far end of the run matches the near end
Voltage drop along a 10 m reel is the usual reason a linear run fades towards the tail and shifts slightly in colour temperature. Thicker copper is the fix.
18/50 → 22/145 copper Head-to-tail voltage drop reduced CCT drift at the tail removed
- Copper specification 18/50 → 22/145 — lower resistance along the PCB, so the head-to-tail voltage difference drops noticeably.
- Uniform brightness on long runs — the tail of a 10 m reel no longer reads dimmer than the feed end.
- Stable colour temperature — less current sag means less CCT shift, which is what shows up as a pink or green tail on cheaper strip.
- Slower lumen depreciation — lower resistive loss means lower board temperature, which is the main driver of long-term output loss.
- 1 m solder intervals — repeatable field joints for stable processing on site.
- What it changes in layout terms — a single feed at one end of a 10 m run stays viable where shorter feed distances used to be needed.

Where the LS155 G5 is specified
Linear light does the quiet work in a room: it defines edges, washes surfaces and separates architecture from merchandise.
Retail shelving and displays
Ra ≥ 90 across the whole run keeps merchandise colour true, and 120 LEDs/m hides the pitch inside shallow shelf profiles.
Hospitality and restaurants
2700K and 3000K tiers behind counters, banquettes and open kitchens where warm linear light reads as part of the interior.
Coves and ceiling reveals
8 mm PCB fits narrow coves and plaster reveals; uniform tail output means one feed can serve a long, uninterrupted line.
Offices and meeting rooms
4000K and 6500K tiers for recessed light lines and desk-adjacent detail lighting in commercial fit-outs.
Joinery, wardrobes and cabinets
3M adhesive backing fixes the strip without a profile, and SDCM ≤ 5 keeps adjacent shelves visually matched.
Galleries and exhibition
Full spectrum rendering under 3500K and 4000K supports accurate colour judgement on art, textiles and print.

All variants share the same 10 m reel, 8 mm PCB, IP20 construction and 24 V DC input. The 2700K–6500K wider set on the 8 W/m, 12 W/m and 15 W/m tiers is what separates those tiers from the 4 W/m range, which stops at 4000K.

Wiring, drivers and mounting
LS155 G5 is a 24 V DC constant voltage strip, so the driver and the feed arrangement are part of the specification, not an accessory decision.
- Driver range — the LM-PW constant voltage range covers 60 W, 100 W, 200 W and 300 W at 24 V DC ±5%, IP20, with efficiency from 88% and short circuit plus surge protection. See the indoor LED driver range for the full set.
- Reel power — 34 W, 60 W, 90 W and 105 W per 10 m reel. Size the driver above the connected load and confirm the feed layout when a project runs more than one reel on a single circuit.
- Surface preparation — the 3M backing bonds to clean, dry, flat and dust-free surfaces. On raw MDF, plaster or dusty concrete, use an aluminium profile instead of relying on the adhesive alone.
- Thermal — the strip is rated to TC 75°C at the board. In enclosed coves or insulated cavities, mount on an aluminium profile so heat leaves the board.
- Field joints — solder points repeat every metre. Cutting anywhere else breaks the circuit, so plan the run length before the profile goes up.
- Still need a 5 m reel or a narrow 5 mm body? The wider LS155 range also carries a 5 m reel version with the same 24 V architecture — see the LS155 8W 840 5 m reel for reference.

Frequently asked questions
What does full spectrum mean on the LS155 G5 LED strip?
Every reel in this new LS155 G5 table is built as a full spectrum version with a colour rendering index of Ra ≥ 90 and a colour consistency of SDCM ≤ 5. Compared with a conventional CRI 80 LED strip, colour fidelity is roughly 12.5% higher, so reds, skin tones and merchandise colours stay closer to how they appear under natural light.
Which colour temperatures are available for each wattage?
The 4 W/m version is available in 2700K, 3000K and 4000K. The 8 W/m, 12 W/m and 15 W/m versions each cover five colour temperatures: 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K and 6500K, giving 18 order codes in total across the range.
How much power does one 10 m reel draw, and how do I size a driver?
A full 10 m reel draws 34 W at 4 W/m, 60 W at 8 W/m, 90 W at 12 W/m and 105 W at 15 W/m, all at 24 V DC. Pair the reels with the 24 V DC constant voltage drivers in the LM-PW range (60 W, 100 W, 200 W and 300 W). For layouts longer than a single reel, confirm the feed arrangement with our team before ordering.
How is the strip installed, and what surface does the adhesive need?
The LS155 G5 uses 3M adhesive backing, tested for adhesion at high operating temperature so the strip stays fixed instead of lifting at the ends. Mount on a clean, dry, dust-free and flat surface, and use an aluminium profile where heat dissipation or a straight light line matters. The 8 mm wide PCB fits standard 8 mm channels, and solder points are repeated every metre for stable field processing.
What is new in this LS155 G5 version compared with earlier LS155 strip?
The PCB copper specification moves from 18/50 to 22/145, which lowers the head-to-tail voltage drop along a long run. In practice brightness stays more uniform and colour temperature stays more consistent over the full 10 m, while LED density is raised to 120 LEDs per metre for better light mixing and a smaller SDCM. Maintained output over 15,000 to 20,000 hours replaces the 8,000 to 10,000 hours typical of standard strip.
